FSA to speak at BDS exhibition

The BDS exhibition is taking place on the 20th April at the Rosebowl in Southampton and boasts an exhibitor listing incorporating 33 lenders, product and technology suppliers. The FSA have confirmed that they will be speaking before lunch and providing an opportunity for brokers to meet them face-to-face after. Alongside the FSA, confirmed speakers also include Chris Cummings (Director, Association of Mortgage Intermediaries) and Jeff Knight (Head of Marketing Services, GMAC-RFC).

On the day, attendees will have the chance not only to speak to exhibitors but the BDS compliance team will be on hand to answer any queries. There is also some fun-stuff happening as The Woolwich are kindly providing massage chairs to raise money for charity and we have some prizes on offer including full hospitality tickets for the England V Australia match and if that is not enough, ex-England cricketer Alan Mullally will be doing signings.

Phil Jay, Managing Director is delighted by the FSA’s acceptance to participate: “We know from research that many brokers south of London miss out on events like Mortgage Business Expo due to location so we are delighted to be hosting an exhibition of that calibre closer to home. It promises to be a fantastic opportunity for brokers and introducers to learn, network and get to know the BDS team. Don’t miss out. “
